White collar crime has soared in general. We’ve essentially had a white collar riot — so many people have been acting criminally (or if not criminally selfishly) and getting away with it that even people who otherwise wouldn’t have joined in. There are very few counter examples out there.

We had a street crime epidemic when certain generations were in the groups that typically produce street crime. When other members of those generations began to occupy positions of leadership, white collar crime went to the moon.

Did you guys hear the good news? Regarding the oil spill, President Obama said that “Your government will do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes to stop this crisis.”

That obviously means investing heavily in transit, bike, and pedestrian projects, and raising the gasoline tax, so as to actually get at the root of the problem so that this isn’t as likely to happen again. Right?
